Peach and pink are analogous colors or neighbors on the color wheel. They look as lovely together here as they do at sunset side by side. Plus, the pink helps tie in the peach when you have cool-toned skin.

Once you have your heart set on a winning peach combo, let’s go over two methods for achieving flawless ombré nails.
Easy Gradient Nails with a Sponge
This is the easiest way to do ombre nails. At a minimum, you'll need two polish colors and a makeup sponge. For example, one color could be peach and the other clear. Or you could use two opaque shades like apricot and white, coral and turquoise.
After you prepare the nails like you would for any other manicure, brush on the lighter color as the base. Cure it or let it dry, depending on the type of polish you're using. Nota bene: it must be thoroughly dry to avoid smudging.
Next, paint the edge of the sponge with the darker shade. Press it against the part of the nail where you want the darker color. Remember, gradient nail designs don't include just the tips. You can have a gradient vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or from the center of the nail out to the edges. Dab the darker color a few times to blur the transition between it and the lighter tone. Go easy, because it's easier to add more later than it is to subtract.
Ombré Nails with a Gradient Brush
A gradient brush doesn't look like a typical polish brush. Instead, it’s broader and the bristles are spaced out instead of packed together. This design helps it blend colors perfectly.
You'll likely find this ombré nails method more straightforward to complete with gel polish. It's more forgiving as it won't dry until it's cured. You may want to try it first with a simple selection like peach and white.
Brush on peach and the other shade side by side but not touching. Leave them wet. Start with the gradient brush between the colors and begin blending them with gentle back and forth strokes. This is where you'll be glad that you chose the hues carefully because they will create a third color between them.
Bonus Tips for a Fresh Ombré Style
Lastly, here are some unconventional tips to add a unique twist to your gradient nails.
If you’re out of nail polish colors, eyeshadow pigments are a handy alternative. They can also create a chrome or glazed effect. On a similar note, you can use acrylic paint on your nails and seal it with a top coat.
After applying the ombré design, sprinkle glitter or dip your nail in clear acrylic powder before the polish dries for a sugared effect.
Use a matte top coat over ombré nails for a modern, sophisticated look that feels pleasantly different from the usual glossy finish.
Make it more eye-catching with gems, pearls, stickers, or charms. Imagine seagulls or the evening star twinkling on a peachy sunset background.
Once you’re pleased with your new ombré look, show off your hard work!
